Banana Cream Pie Recipe

This banana cream pie recipe is a perfect combination of sweet bananas, smooth custard, and a crispy pie crust that will melt in your mouth.

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 3 ripe bananas sliced
  • 2 cups milk whole or 2%
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the pie crust according to package instructions and let it cool completely.
  • Layer the sliced bananas evenly in the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolks.
  • Gradually pour the milk mixture into the saucepan with the sugar mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil.
  • Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the custard over the sliced bananas in the pie crust.
  • Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before covering it with plastic wrap and chilling in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours.
  • Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and sliced bananas if desired.
